Does it ever end?

That's a good way to look at things. My mom is of a similar view on snakes (possibly slowly changing...), so I can't imagine living with that level of negativity about it day in and day out.

I didn't get my first snake until well after I had bought my house, so I'm free and clear on cohabitation (humans) with anyone who dislikes snakes/reptiles or issues with landlords aside from city/state regulations, my husband is on board with them, and we are in a position where we have discretionary income, no plans to have kids to take up that income, and plenty of time to enjoy the animals. I probably have one or two that I picked up from impatience with wanting more, but I don't regret them at all and knew what I was getting into on their husbandry before I made the purchase.

We are approaching what I'd say is my limit, but I don't have a number in mind for a hard stop. I am more trying to balance the variety and effort of keeping track of that. 1 more ball python on top of my current 6 isn't as much work as a new species or something larger like a boa, so a hard number doesn't make sense for my situation.

For me yes.
I have had animals in my care for decades. Loved them all and love my current ones dearly. BUT I plan on not being as obligated in years to come so that I can travel and be away from home for a bit.

That’s why I love reptiles. I have three big sulcata torts too, and I love them because I can leave and not worrie about them so much. Just have someone come by and make sure they are alive and have water every few days.

Btw u talk like ur 80 years old in the last few posts u have made. U feeling old this time of year?? Age is just a number btw. I’m only 33 but I feel like I’m 15! I’m young at heart!

I feel 80 sometimes !
But yeah having a snake I could leave it a week with no worries but I would worry anyway. I've had several opportunities to go somewhere for a few days or a week but I can't because of my 4 dogs
